NATURE WORK OF ART POEM BY STACY SMITH

Nature’s Work of Art I see a work of art shimmering in the light. Before the sun goes down, it hits it just right To make a rainbow effect within silken lines, And I see its creator resting on my chimes. Soon she’ll come out and go to her lair And then her masterpiece she’ll soon repair. A yellow eye is tattooed on her abdomen of beige. It is quite noticeable when she takes center stage

For this little engineer respect I feel, And I gaze with wonder at her web of steel
